Hany Houssien

By drawing on his vast knowledge of architecture and design, Hany Houssien finds a natural affinity with the technique of cubism. For Hany, cubism is the only credible way to get what you really want. This is the only technique that allows you to look at the surface from the inside, from below and between the lines. The use of color and form is essential to allow direct access to the deepest chambers which hold the secrets of the Pharaoh.

Masks paintings are approached in the same way that a portrait painter would begin a painting. However, the Guardian, in this case, is no longer alive. The mask comes after death, made by another person thousands of years ago; in fact, made by the people he ruled over and who loved him. And if the paint is not used as a means to destroy the image, it is used to respectfully honor them and show love to this precious being and his existence. So keeping the surface intact is important, it shows a deeper understanding and respect for the splendor of the noble pharaoh.
